Airports at each end
Leaving Maputo

Buenos Aires is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,710 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Ezeiza International Airport - Ministro Pistarini | EZE | 27 km (17 mi) | 10,827 ft | 67 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,488 km (5,274 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
